研究方向及研究室特色：
1. Molecular virology of HBV and viral mutants. Most of the early studies focused on the molecular biology of hepatitis B virus precore and core proteins. Some recently works focused on YMDD mutants developed during prolonged anti-viral therapy. (J Virol 1990, 1991; PNAS 1993; J Hepatol 2000; Hepatology 2000; Gastroenterology 2007; Antivir Ther 2008, 2009, 2010).

2. Hepatocarcinogenesis. The goals were to search for hepatoma-related viral mutants and hepatoma-related aberrant gene transcripts or under-expressed genes, which might serve as a tumor suppressor. (Cancer Res 2000; Oncogene 2000; Oncogene 2003; Hepatology 2010, in press).

3. New models for hepatitis C virus replication. Using molecular biology approach, a cDNA named Sip-L was found capable of supporting a complete cycle of HCV infection. Also, an ex vivo system has also been developed to study clinical relevance of the in vitro findings (J Virol 2001; J Infect Dis 2006; J Viral Hepat 2009).

4. New viruses.
Searching for new human pathogenic viruses. Presently, a putative virus named NV-F has been identified (J Infect Dis 2006; J Infect Dis 2008).
